Hybrid tea rose 'Elizabeth Taylor'

‘Elizabeth Taylor’ Hybrid Tea Rose (Rosa ‘Elizabeth Taylor’). Rosa ‘Elizabeth Taylor’, an award-winning and highly fragrant hybrid tea rose, stands out with its large, double, vibrant deep pink flowers with thick, perfectly turbinated petals. Its powerful, rich, and lemony fragrance is one of its main assets, making it an excellent choice for close-up gardens and fragrant bouquets. The flowers have excellent vase life and good rain resistance compared to many classic hybrid teas. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit forms a dense and well-structured shrub, ideal for sunny beds or as a specimen plant.

To plant ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ hybrid tea rose, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: rich, deep, well-draining. Water at the base and allow air to circulate between the branches. Remove dead parts with a clean tool, then adapt pruning to the rose's group. Winter protection depends on its hardiness and the possible presence of a graft union. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow for a width of 1 m (3.3 ft) when planning the plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 1.2 m (4 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
